(p (em "the most necessary of the necessary stuff")))
(p "she currently takes a heaping 1/4 cup of kibble at 11am and 11pm daily. you can adjust the exact times to your life, as long as there about 12 hrs apart. feeding her closer to your bedtime will mean that she doesn't get fussy in the morning and demand an early breakfast")
(p "the food she's been getting now is a blend of fancy orijen 6 fish adult cat food and purina cat chow complete. if yr starting to run out i can order some to be delivered or you can pick up more of the purina at petsmart")
(p "if the water fountain is too annoying to deal with, you can use a bowl - please empty and refresh it during one of her meals")
(p "if the water fountain is not too annoying: the water level should be between just above and just below the 'snout' window. i've had to take it apart and rinse all the pieces at least once a week with three cats sharing it, you'll probably not have to do that as much. the filter should be changed mid month ~15th. the manual is in the box or you can ask me if it's being weird"))
(section
((id "medicine"))
(h2 "medicine")
(p "the thing she definitely needs is selamectin applied on the last day of the month. the applicator is a little weird--you twist the tip to break the internal seal and squeeze to apply--there's no cap on it. apply a full applicator to the base of her neck near the collar line while spreading her fur out of the way. wash yr hands and try not to touch her for a few hours after applying")
(p "you shouldn't need to deal with this, but *if* she starts scratching her ears incessantly, you can apply some of the ear drops daily for a few days. it works best if you can get them in to her inner ear and massage the base of her ear for a few seconds. she doesn't like this and will try to splash the stuff out of her ear and onto you so watch out! (she hasn't had ear problems in a few years, so you can probably just ignore this)"))
(section
((id "fun-stuff"))
(h2 "fun stuff")
(p "brushing! she's got dense fur, so it helps to brush (altho she's never had hairballs so it's not like medically necessary.) she's a typical cat in that she enjoys being brushed until she gets overstimulated and starts attacking the comb")
(p "toys! she loves a cat dancer, this is the best way to get her energy out if she's being annoying. she also loves the yellow woven toy and the taco and she might make mournful yowls at you from across the house to let you know she wants to share her favorite toys with you. if you're feeling up to it, you can periodically hide some of her toys to keep her from getting bored with the ones she has")
(p "treats! churu's a favorite, but you can also use some of the solid treats to work on her tricks if you like!")
(p "tricks! (she's not been doing them a lot lately so she'll probably get really excited and meow and walk in circles for a moment before she settles down and does the things)")
(ul (li "'sit': hand signal is fist pointed up, slightly above her ✊")
(li "'speak': hand signa is pointing to your mouth")
(li "'loaf' (it means lie down): hand signal is a pinching shape pointed down in front of her" (span ((style "rotate: -90deg;")) "🤏"))
(li "'touch' (it's basically a headbutt): hand signal is a fist pointed toward her 🤛")))
(p "that's all i can think of right now! but of course call me if you've got any questions and if i think of anything i'll let you know and add it here as well. thanks again for taking care of her! please send me lots of pictures!"))
